The Role

Fanatics is seeking a Contract Recruiter who’s equal parts strategic thinker, talent connector, and trusted partner to the business.

You’ll thrive here if you love solving hiring challenges, using data and market insights to shape smart decisions, and building creative sourcing strategies that actually work. Partnering closely with hiring leaders, you’ll help attract and hire high-impact talent that fuels both established teams and new growth initiatives. Experience supporting engineering or technical recruiting is a strong plus.

This role is based in-office four days a week.

What You’ll Do:

Talent Acquisition & Strategic Hiring

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle for a diverse mix of roles across multiple functions, making sure every hire aligns with the business’s bigger picture.

• Partner closely with hiring managers to clarify role needs, anticipate talent gaps, and build smart, effective hiring strategies.

• Bring market insights and data to the table to help guide hiring decisions and set expectations.

• Create a candidate experience that’s thoughtful, inclusive, and engaging—from first outreach to offer acceptance.

• Stay plugged into org structures, role-specific skill sets, and industry trends so you can confidently assess talent and advise the business

• Adapt quickly balancing speed and quality in a fast-moving environment.

Innovative Sourcing & Candidate Engagement

• Design creative sourcing strategies that go beyond the usual channels to attract diverse, high-impact talent.

• Build and nurture strong pipelines of both active and passive candidates across a wide range of disciplines.

Stakeholder Partnership & Process Optimization

• Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, thoughtfully balancing urgency, quality, and long-term workforce planning.

• Help drive consistency and efficiency across recruiting processes while championing structured, high-impact hiring practices.

• Collaborate closely with HR Business Partners, Finance, and cross-functional leaders to align on hiring priorities and headcount planning

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across multiple functions (corporate, business, operational, and/or specialized roles).

• A track record of hiring in competitive markets and influencing stakeholders at all levels.

• Strong consultative instincts and the ability to build trusted, lasting relationships.

• Clear, confident communication skills with a knack for stakeholder management.

• Hands-on experience with applicant tracking systems and recruiting tools (e.g., Greenhouse).

• Comfort juggling multiple priorities in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

• A genuine passion for talent acquisition, continuous improvement, and making a real business impact.
